Tigran Petrosian was a World Chess Champion and a true legend of the
game. He was nicknamed "Iron Tigran" because of his incredible defensive
skills that made him a formidable opponent who was virtually impossible
to defeat. Petrosian was the master of restraint, prophylaxis and
prevention. He could spot and defuse threats well before they were
created, suck the life out an opponent's position and then seize a
vice-like grip on the game. In this book, International Master Thomas

us how we can all learn and improve our chess by studying Petrosian's
masterpieces. Move by Moveprovides an ideal platform to study chess. By
